Ingredients

• Chicken breast - 300 grams, diced
• Cauliflower - 300 grams, riced
• Cream cheese - 100 grams, softened
• Chicken broth - 120 ml
• Cheddar cheese - 100 grams, shredded
• Olive oil - 1 tablespoon
• Garlic - 2 cloves, minced
• Onion - 1 small, diced
• Paprika - 1 teaspoon

Steps

1. Preheat the oven to 180°C (350°F).
2. In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the diced onion and minced garlic, sautéing until the onion is translucent.
